Svchost.exe virus which I just can't get rid of

Thank you in advance for any help given! The problem is that I have a virus which shows up as svchost.exe*32 in my task manager, when I see its properties, it originates from my appdata/temp folder. This definitely cant be right. I also had the same thing but with a 'win32*32' on my C:/. Malwarebytes got rid of that one and hasnt come back. Malwarebytes also detects the svchost.exe and deletes on reboot. But when I reboot, it's still there. Even when I browse to the file, find the offending svchost file, delete it. once rebooted it returns...

From this point on, please do not make any more changes to your computer; such as install/uninstall programs, use special fix tools, delete files, edit the registry, etc. - unless advised by a malware removal helper.

Please do not ask for help elsewhere (in this site or other sites). Doing so can result in system changes, which may not show up in the logs you post.

If you have already asked for help somewhere, please post the link to the topic you were helped.

When the tool opens click Yes to the disclaimer.

Place a check next to List Drivers MD5 as well as the default check marks that are already there

Close out of the message after that, then type in the text services.exe in to the "Search:" text box. Then, press the Search file(s) button, just as below:

Very Important: Temporarily disable your anti-virus, script blocking and any anti-malware real-time protection before performing a scan. They can interfere with ComboFix or remove some of its embedded files which may cause "unpredictable results". Please visit here if you don't know how.

WARNING: Combofix will disconnect your machine from the Internet as soon as it starts

Please do not attempt to re-connect your machine back to the Internet until ComboFix has completely finished.

If there is no Internet connection after running ComboFix, then restart your computer to restore back your connection.

Running ComboFix:

Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.

When ComboFix finishes, it will produce a report for you.

Please post the report, which will launch or be found at "C:\Combo-Fix.txt" in your next reply.

Troubleshooting ComboFix

Safe Mode:

If you still cannot get ComboFix to run, try booting into Safe Mode, and run it there.

(To boot into Safe Mode, tap F8 after BIOS, and just before the Windows
logo appears. A list of options will appear, select "Safe Mode.")

Re-downloading:

If this doesn't work either, try the same method (above method), but try to download it again, except name
ComboFix.exe to iexplore.exe, explorer.exe, or winlogon.exe.

Malware is known for blocking all "user" processes, except for its whitelist of system important processes such as iexplore.exe, explorer.exe, winlogon.exe.

NOTE: If you encounter a message "illegal operation attempted on registry key that has been marked for deletion" and no programs will run - please just reboot and that will resolve that error.

Attached Files:

Be sure to print out and follow the instructions provided on that same page for performing a scan.

Caution: This is a beta version so also read the disclaimer and back up all your data before using.

When the scan completes, click on the Cleanup button to remove any threats found and reboot the computer if prompted to do so.

Perform another scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit to verify that no threats remain. If they do, then click Cleanup once more and repeat the process.

If there are problems with Internet access, Windows Update, Windows Firewall or other system issues, run the fixdamage tool located in the folder Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit was run from and reboot your computer.

Two files (mbar-log-YYYY-MM-DD, system-log.txt) will be created and saved within that same folder.

Copy and paste the contents of these two log files in your next reply.

When asked, allow the ActiveX control to install, or it will ask to download an installer. Please do so an install it.

Click Start or wait for the scanner to load.

Make sure that the options Remove found threats and the option Scan unwanted applications are checked.

Click Scan (This scan can take several hours, so please be patient)

Once the scan is completed, there are a couple of things to keep in mind:

1. If NO threats were found, allow the scanner to Uninstall on close and then close the Window.

2. If threats WERE detected, click on List of Threats Found, Export to Text File...save it as ESET-Scan-Log.txt. Click the back button/link, put a checkmark to Uninstall Application on Close and then close the window.

Open the logfile from wherever you saved it

Copy and paste the contents in your next reply.

Any more issues?

Many of the things to note for us would be:

System crashes or blue screen of death

Note: Absence of issues does not mean that you're protected in the future.

There isnt a major issue, the fact is that whenever I turn on my PC when I check the taskmanager, there is a process 'svchost.exe*32' with description 'svchost' which is using a little bit of memory. I dont think my pc has slowed down or anything. But I dont like having unknown programs running. Privacy and security might be at risk. Im running the ESET scan now. I'll post the result when it's finished

When the file has been saved, go to your Desktop and double-click on ccsetupxxx_slim.exe

On the Cleaner tab, click on Run Cleaner on the bottom-right to run the program.
